Lincoln Park’s LA Pratt drives to the basket against Montour’s Vason Stevenson during their WPIAL Class 4A semifinal on Thursday, March 11, 2021, in Midland.
The final four WPIAL basketball championship games will be played tonight at a pair of high school gymnasiums, and a quartet of teams will be rewarded for persevering during an unprecedented 2020-21 season.
Teams endured covid-19 protocols and shutdowns that provided a bigger challenge than any on-court opponent.
They continued to focus on goals of playing for a WPIAL title, and those dreams will become reality tonight.
The TribLive High School Network has you covered with exclusive live video stream broadcasts of all 12 championship games, as well as game coverage, photos, scores and summaries of all the action.
